With pools opening all over the US this past weekend for Memorial Day, it’s time for a quick refresher on the basics: how to keep your kids safe in pools.

I don’t usually get preachy here, but this is important, so bear with me a for a minute. Last week, my friend stopped by to take the kids out for a bike ride – his son is close friends with my oldest daughter.

This week, phil&teds announced a voluntary recall-to-repair of their Sport V2 and Classic V1 strollers. The hinges can pose an amputation and laceration hazard if fingertips are inserted while the stroller is folding or unfolding. The phrase “amputation hazard” is chilling, but if you can just keep your fingers away from the stroller’s hinges during opening and closing, you’ll be ... Read More »

Yesterday, Belgium announced a new ban on foam puzzle mats, due to the presence of formamides, a type of chemical used to soften the foam for the mats.

The comparison videos done between products - like UPPAbaby Vista vs Nuna Demi Grow - were exactly what I was looking for and helped me make an informed decision and investment.

Best place ever to shop for strollers and baby carriers! The staff is knowledgeable and warm. I spent over an hour here to learning about strollers, car seats, baby wraps, etc. I placed an order and the stroller arrived very quickly. A must stop for baby equipment.

I'm never one to write reviews but Magic Beans has to be the MOST helpful of all things baby! As a first time mom due soon, a lot of baby gear can get overwhelming and confusing. They take all of that out of the equation and focus on what you really need and listen to what you are looking for in certain products and point you in the right direction.

The staff at Magic Beans is incredible!!! The most positive and helpful shopping experience for me and my expecting wife. The staff listened to our needs and explained different options for strollers, car seats, cribs, bassinets, and just about everything else we would eventually need as new parents. Helpful beyond measure! No other stores offer this level of assistance, attention, and support. I recommend this be a priority starting point for all soon-to-be-parents!!!

Great service through online chat and over the phone. And the online videos are SUPER helpful. Love this place!

Before purchasing I received in store, online, and FB messaging information. The staff is so helpful and informative.

I found Magic Beans while researching strollers on YouTube. The videos were extremely helpful so I thought I would purchase from the store. My stroller was received in record time. I decided on the UPPAbaby Minu because of the description on the videos and it is exactly what I was looking for. I am extremely pleased and will happily recommend. Thank you! The videos were also fun to watch.
